It was the only race that was hanging in the balance, as all other races were settled long before the Tuesday count arrived.

Supervisor Jane Parker held on to her 4th District seat with almost 56 percent of the vote.

Mary Adams bested Supervisor Dave Potter in District 5 with almost 56 percent of the vote.

County voters turned out at record numbers, with nearly 50 percent casting ballots. In the 2012 presidential primary, only 37 percent of voters participated, a very similar result to the 2008 primary, which saw a turnout of 36 percent.

Nearly 60,000 voters — or more than 72 percent of voters — cast their ballots by mail.
